5 Degrees of Steel-Cut

I've reached a new low temperature run at 5°F. Because it was warmer during the day, I didn't realize that it was that 5°F when I left for my commute home. Daaaaaaaang!

After about 25 minutes, my toes became a little numb and stingy. I'm pretty sure that this was a running-first for me. Now I know that one pair of wool socks and running shoes just isn't going to cut it in those temperatures.
